Active Dissemination Efforts • Answered an RFP from the Public Health Agency of Canada: “Local Community Dissemination for the ADSS” • On January 15th, MP Laurie Hawn announced funding for this initiative ~$150,000 and presented Jeff and IHE with a “large cheque”.
Active Dissemination Efforts • Lethbridge (Chinook Region) was our first stop in August 07. • Presented to: • Building Healthy Lifestyles Team (DEC) • RHA and PCN Leadership • The public • Hospital Health Care Providers (including a group of internists)
Active Dissemination Efforts • Brooks and Medicine Hat (Palliser Region) was our second stop in January 08. • Brooks: • Living Healthy Team (DEC) • The public and diabetes association board members • Medicine Hat: • Seniors/the Public • Health Care Providers • Physicians
Active Dissemination Efforts • Second visit to Medicine Hat (Palliser Region) February 08. • Committee of the Board for Palliser Health (including the Director of CDM, CEO and VP of the region) • Health Care Professionals- from Medicine Hat and Oyen and Bow Island were telehealthed in. • Third visit to Medicine Hat April 08. • Diabetes Collaborative Workshop (PCN Staff)
Active Dissemination Efforts • Red Deer (David Thompson Health Region) March 08 • HC Professionals, Regional folks and the public • Fort McMurray (Municipality of Wood Buffalo/ Northern Lights Region) April 08 • HC Professionals, PCN folks, MOH, the public • Westlock (Aspen) June 23.08 • PCN staff and Primary Health Care Committee • Grande Prairie (Peace Country) TBA • Camrose (East Central) TBA

Local Information for Local Planning • ADSS can be used by the Regions to more accurately assess what the burden of DM and it’s comorbidities are. • ADSS provides important information and specific numbers that can be included in Regional Health Authority business plans/performance reports. • Diabetes is one of the conditions expected in performance reports for all health regions in Alberta. • ADSS can help regions plan and evaluate new programs.
ADSS: Capital and Calgary • Sub-region prevalence • PCNs • St. Albert/Sturgeon • Southside • Quality indicators…. • Dashboard reporting • How ADSS can supplement this

ADSS Ethics Considerations • November 06 • Request for Ethics submitted (Panel B) • Reply indicated that the surveillance that we were about to complete did not constitute research and therefore did not require an ethics review or approval. • Necessary to submit subsequent individual research projects for consideration by the HREB (i.e. amendment to the ADSS ethics application) • May 08 • Letter submitted to HREB to obtain approval to move ahead with GDM project. • Outcome???
Diabetes and First Nations • The incidence and prevalence of diabetes is more than twice as high among First Nations people, for both males and females, compared to non-First Nations people. • The increased incidence and prevalence of diabetes for First Nations compared to non-First Nations has remained constant from 1995 to 2005. • Among First Nations people, the incidence and prevalence of diabetes are higher among females compared to males.
Diabetes Prevalence 1995-2006FN People by Sex, Rural and Urban
Diabetes Incidence 1995-2006FN People by Sex, Rural and Urban
Key Messages… First Nations • In rural areas DM is more prevalent for FN, and incidence is increasing faster; • FN women in rural areas have the highest prevalence of DM; • FN men have had greatest increases in incidence. Non-First Nations • Among non-FN, prevalence is similar between urban and rural; • Men in rural settings have had greatest increase in incidence and prevalence (~60%).
DM in the Under 20 year old Population Objectives • Evaluate epi trends for diabetes among the under 20 population in Alberta, Canada; • Incidence • Prevalence • Compare age-specific trends over past 10 yrs; • Further assessment of validity of NDSS/ADSS case definition in under 20 population.
Prevalent Cases, 2006 2,301 cases (28 per 10,000)
Diabetes Prevalence, 1995-2005 Under 20 30% 42% 51%* 93%* *p=0.005
